We are all going home, Book
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Alfred Lord Tennyson, Ulysses
We are all going home is born out of the desire to reflect on the image of Eastern Europe that many of us have, an indistinct whole from Tallin to Tirana, excluding Helsinki and Thessaloniki. Geographical bewilderment, a legacy of the Iron Curtain, is reflected in the people who come from the closest former Soviet countries: not refugees, not immediately identifiable as foreigners, but rather people who have chosen another European country, forever poised between the opportunity and the longing to see home once again, but to find out that, perhaps, it is no longer home.
The installation We are all going home describes the dream of feeling at home.
